Ok, now I remember why I left XClearWindow() uncommented (notice the commented code right next to it? I had been running with XClearWindow() commented as well and fixed most of the problems). At this point (version 0.4.5) all of the problems that required a call to XClearWindow() should be fixed except one: when switching from 132 column display to 80 column the right window border has artifacts left in it from the previous 132 column screen. This is the problem I'm trying to fix.


I believe the artifacts are in the border of the smaller window, not in the actual window itself. So I'm not sure I can draw there (though XClearWindow() certainly does, so I ought to be able to). I might be able to call XClearArea() with the coordinates of the far right edge of the window to fix this when the window size changes.
